I need this text in german...;( Can someone help me?
I need it for an important exem!
When the floods subsided in India last year more than half of the bodies found were Dalits, or untouchables; the recent droughts in Kenya have devastated the herds pastoralists in the north rely on for survival; in Arctic Norway the Sami people's reindeer are starving as warmer rains destroy their grazing land.
Around the world, the reality of dangerous climate change is being felt and its full force is striking the people least equipped to cope, ethnic or religious minorities and indigenous peoples. Minorities from Latin America to Europe and Asia have been caught in man-made environmental disasters, and in many cases relief is reaching them last, says a report to be released today by the international non-government organisation, Minority Rights Group.
Greenhouse gases from industrialised nations are profoundly changing global weather patterns with disastrous consequences for poorer countries. Already a major UN effort is underway to find a formula for richer polluting nations to pay for the "climate-proofing" of the developing world, but concerns are mounting that groups living on the margins of these societies will not be protected.
The report says the very survival of fragile communities is at stake unless policy-makers pay urgent attention to their plight. "Climate change has made it to the top of the international agenda but at every level, be it intergovernmental, national or local, recognition of the acute difficulties that minorities face, is often missing," said Minority Rights Group's Ishbel Matheson, one of the report's authors. Making matters worse, the charity argues, is that minorities have faced discrimination in the wake of weather disasters. In the wake of flooding in Bihar Dalit, communities found aid took longest to reach them and they were subject to "blatant" discrimination.
Climate change is also playing havoc with traditional communities' reliance on the land. David Pulkol, a spokesman for the Karamajong community in Uganda, says: "In our community, the elders interpret certain signs from nature to know when to plant their crops or when to start the hunting season. But with climate change it is becoming impossible to make such predictions."
The European Union and the UN have recognised the security implications of climate-led disasters striking poorer countries, pointing to the increased likelihood of wars and mass migration. Achim Steiner, the head of the UN Environment Programme has linked climate change to the conflict in Darfur and warned: "Societies are not prepared for the scale and the speed with which they will have to decide what they will do with people."
Were global carbon emissions to be cut by half today, any mitigating effects on climate change would take at least two decades to appear. In the short term, we are locked into global warming, so efforts to "climate-proof" the nations set to be hit hardest is one of the biggest tasks facing the international community. At the UN climate talks in Bali in December, 190 nations signed up to a roadmap aiming towards a binding global deal to stave off a climate disaster. That roadmap contains commitments to massive funding to help poor countries adapt to the changes on their way, but some of the attempts to scale back the carbon economy are creating as many problems as they are relieving.
The present vogue for bio-fuels stems from the supposed triumph of the ethanol industry in Latin America but underneath this success is a story of forced evictions, land grabs and attacks on indigenous groups in Colombia, Brazil and Argentina to make way for bio-fuel plantations.

maybe later when i am fully awake ;>
nP for babel fish xD
Rund um die Welt, die Realität der gefährlichen Klimawandel zu spüren und seine volle Kraft ist auffällig, die Menschen am wenigsten ausgestattet zu bewältigen, der ethnischen oder religiösen Minderheiten und indigenen Völkern. Minderheiten aus Lateinamerika nach Europa und Asien wurden gefangen in der vom Menschen verursachten Umweltkatastrophen, und in vielen Fällen Relief erreicht sie zuletzt, sagt ein Bericht zu der heute von der internationalen Nicht-Regierungs-Organisationen, Minority Rights Group.
Treibhausgase aus Industriestaaten sind zutiefst sich wandelnden globalen Wetter Muster mit katastrophalen Folgen für die ärmeren Länder. Bereits eine große UN-Bemühungen im Gange, um eine Formel für umweltschädliche reicheren Nationen zu zahlen für die "Klima-Proofing" von der Dritten Welt, sondern betrifft die Montage, dass die Gruppen leben am Rande dieser Gesellschaften werden nicht geschützt.
Der Bericht sagt das Überleben der schwachen Gemeinden auf dem Spiel steht, es sei denn, die politischen Entscheidungsträger zahlen dringend Aufmerksamkeit auf ihre Notlage. "Der Klimawandel hat es an die Spitze der internationalen Agenda, sondern auf allen Ebenen, sei es zwischenstaatliche, nationaler oder lokaler Ebene, die Anerkennung der akuten Schwierigkeiten, die Minderheiten Gesicht, ist oft fehlt", sagte Minority Rights Group's Ishbel Matheson, ein von der Bericht der Autoren. Making noch schlimmer, die Nächstenliebe macht geltend, ist, dass Minderheiten haben vor Diskriminierung im Zuge der Unwetterkatastrophen. Im Zuge der Flutkatastrophe in Bihar Dalit, Gemeinden gefunden Beihilfen längsten dauerte, sie zu erreichen und sie wurden unter "eklatanten" Diskriminierung.
Der Klimawandel ist auch spielen Chaos mit traditionellen Gemeinschaften "Vertrauen auf das Land. David Pulkol, ein Sprecher der Karamajong Gemeinschaft in Uganda, sagt: "In unserer Gemeinschaft, die Ältesten interpretieren bestimmte Zeichen aus der Natur zu wissen, wann die Pflanze ihre Kulturen oder, wenn zu Beginn der Jagdsaison. Aber mit dem Klimawandel wird es immer unmöglich, machen solche Vorhersagen. "
Die Europäische Union und die Vereinten Nationen haben erkannt, die Auswirkungen auf die Sicherheit der Klima-Katastrophen führte markante ärmeren Ländern, die auf die erhöhte Wahrscheinlichkeit von Kriegen und Massenmigration. Achim Steiner, der Leiter des UN-Umweltprogramms hat im Zusammenhang des Klimawandels für den Konflikt in Darfur und warnte: "Gesellschaften sind nicht bereit für das Ausmaß und die Geschwindigkeit, mit der sie zu entscheiden haben, was sie tun wird mit den Menschen."
Wurden globalen Kohlenstoff-Emissionen werden um die Hälfte heute, alle mildernden Auswirkungen auf den Klimawandel würde mindestens zwei Jahrzehnte zu erscheinen. Auf kurze Sicht sind wir in der globalen Erwärmung, so dass Bemühungen um eine "Klima-Beweis" der Nationen gesetzt werden am stärksten ist eins der größten Aufgaben, denen sich die internationale Gemeinschaft. Auf der UN-Klimaverhandlungen in Bali im Dezember, 190 Nationen unterzeichnet bis zu einem Fahrplan mit dem Ziel hin zu einem verbindlichen globalen viel zu Stabkirche aus einer Klima-Katastrophe. Diese Roadmap enthält Verpflichtungen zu massiven Mittel zur Unterstützung armer Länder Anpassung an die Veränderungen auf dem Weg, aber einige der Versuche, den Umfang zurück Kohlenstoff-Wirtschaft sind die Schaffung so viele Probleme, da sie Linderung.
Die derzeitige Mode für Bio-Kraftstoffe ergibt sich aus dem vermeintlichen Sieg der Ethanol-Industrie in Lateinamerika, aber unter diesen Erfolg ist eine Geschichte von Zwangsräumungen, Land-Greifer und Angriffe auf die indigenen Gruppen in Kolumbien, Brasilien und Argentinien, um Platz für Bio-Kraftstoff Plantagen.
